摘要:

光的量子存储器允许光和物质之间量子态的可逆转移,是量子中继器、量子网络和线性光学量子计算发展的核心。近年来,量子信息技术取得了重大进展,包括从纯量子比特态和纠缠量子比特态的光子中忠实地传递量子信息。然而,这些演示都没有证实存储在量子存储器中和从量子存储器中调用的光子仍然适合于双光子干涉测量,例如C-NOT门和贝尔状态测量,这构成了所有上述量子信息处理应用的另一个关键成分。使用成对的弱激光脉冲,每个脉冲平均包含少于一个光子,我们证明了双光子干涉以及贝尔状态测量后,没有,一个,或两个脉冲已可逆地映射到单独的铥掺杂钛indiffused锂钛酸盐(Ti:Tm:LiNbO 3)波导。由于干涉总是接近理论最大值,我们得出结论,我们的固态量子存储器,除了忠实地映射量子信息,也保留了整个光子波函数。因此,我们证明,我们的记忆通常适用于先进的应用程序中的量子信息处理,需要双光子干涉。

英文摘要:

Quantum memories for light, which allow the reversible transfer of quantum states between light and matter, are central to the development of quantum repeaters, quantum networks, and linear optics quantum computing. Significant progress has been reported in recent years, including the faithful transfer of quantum information from photons in pure and entangled qubit states. However, none of these demonstrations confirm that photons stored in and recalled from quantum memories remain suitable for two-photon interference measurements, such as C-NOT gates and Bell-state measurements, which constitute another key ingredient for all aforementioned applications of quantum information processing. Using pairs of weak laser pulses, each containing less than one photon on average, we demonstrate two-photon interference as well as a Bell-state measurement after either none, one, or both pulses have been reversibly mapped to separate thulium-doped titanium-indiffused lithium niobate (Ti:Tm:LiNbO3) waveguides. As the interference is always near the theoretical maximum, we conclude that our solid-state quantum memories, in addition to faithfully mapping quantum information, also preserves the entire photonic wavefunction. Hence, we demonstrate that our memories are generally suitable for use in advanced applications of quantum information processing that require two-photon interference.
